This is a Sara City production, so production quality is not the best. Not as bad as earlier Sara City, but not as good as CIA either. But, there is something that I do like about this type of filming, it's more like a live class. There are mistakes in the video that don't get edited out. The music cuts out once, and Franny deals with it by talking/teaching tips. Franny makes one or two mistakes herself, which is uplifting to me, as an instructor.
BR>Now, the routine is very good. Franny puts together some fun moves. The choreography is not as complex as her CIAs, but the intensity and footwork are both intermed/adv. The workout is about 60 minutes, and then a 30 minute instructional segment. The warm up is easy to grasp, but everything takes off from there. The first combo is the easiest, running up, V step turn, run back, knees up(turning) and I believe some ham curls that later turn into her "spin out"(like in CIA 9905). She does have this one tricky move: lunge out, then cross in front and lunge out with the other leg and cross in front(I don't know why I even bother to write that-I can never figure out things like this in other people's reviews). anyway, Franny's Block Party is a lot of fun. And especially good for a first Franny video. A+

Instructor Comments:
Franny is just absolutely- her! I bought this tape because of my faith in Franny's ability, and she didn't let me down. Good cueing, good choreograhy and a fun instructor.
